Hey guys, I have been carrying concealed since 2006, when I first moved to Georgia from the state of Massachusetts. I currently carry a Taurus Millennium Pro PT145 45ACP pistol. It's a DA/SA type gun. I have never carried it with a bullet in the chamber, because I'm afraid that it will accidentally go off, even with the safety feature on the side.
For you guys who do carry semi-autos pistols similar to mines, if you have a bullet in the chamber, with the safety switch on, how safe do you guys feel carrying it around? Is it normal for you guys to always carry with a bullet in the chamber? I currently live in an area of high crime, and I'm scared that if my gun doesn't have a bullet in the chamber right away, I might lose my life, if I try to cock my gun back, to chamber in the bullet, only to have it jam up on me when my life depends on it. I have been to the range a few times, and my gun would sometimes jam up on me during the loading of the 3rd or 4th round. Which is okay with me, since I think only the first bullet would probably count the most. How safe would I be if I put a bullet in the chamber, carrying it all day, with the safety switch on, 365 days a year?
